Read MoreThis course is about survival. It is a very well thought out intense course. The information that you receive is invaluable. I have studied a variety of martial arts for most of my life. I have also done security work in a variety of settings. However, even people who are not trained martial artists can follow Nick's teachings and feel more confident in their ability to not only protect themselves against a knife attack, but any kind of attack. In each course I learned something different. He gives you realistic scenarios and shows you how to survive the most common knife attacks. Most peop!e do not realize that even 4 inches of a knife is more than enough to kill you. In addition to showing you great upper body skil!, he also shows you great footwork. There are different systems that people teach where you spend a !omg time just learning very intricate footwork. I know one instructor who spends 50 minutes out of a 60 minute class just doing footwork. Footwork is important, but if it is too complicated to learn people will not be able to do it under pressure unless you devote many hours to practicing it. With Nick his footwork is very easy to learn and his techniques are easy to follow. I really like his emphasis on situational awareness. You have to pay attention to your surroundings and to peop!e who are around you. You have to be prepared to defend yourself if you are confronted by an attacker. One of the biggest benefits that I have learned is how to explain principles and concepts better. I have taken all of Nick's courses and with each course I learned something new and benefited from it. In my opinion it is extremely important to find an instructor who can explain things easy and demonstrate how to survive if if you are attacked. Nick Drossos is a teacher and a fighter. I would also recommend that everyone should look at his YouTube channel and like and subscribe. My mom is 67 years old and disabled. I had her watch his Women's Shield Program and his YouTube channel and she has learned so much. She definitely feels much more confident in her ability to handle a potential threat if she finds herself in that situation. I am going to encourage her to continue her self defense training by watching Nick Drossos. Sincerely, Jason Smith

Nick Drossos Defensive Tactics have been sought out from civilians to law enforcement.
"The first few seconds are crucial to your survival"
"It's not about training for every scenario, it's about understating the concepts that can be applied in the right scenario"
"You will fight the way you train"
"Against a knife attack, you better fight dirty"
"Only through scenario training you explore the entire experience"
The fundamental objective of the Tactical Edge Defense program is to make you skilled and shrewd in defending against any type of knife or edged weapon attack. Lessons are intense and meticulous - preparing you both physically and mentally, to evade and escape, as well as defend, and attack from a knife or edged weapon. The preeminent goal is to augment your chances of survival.
Learning knife and edged weapon defense is crucial. Both are deadly and may enter into an attack or fight at any time! Knife crime in the United Kingdom is rapidly spreading, and is being depicted as a spiraling, global epidemic. Homicides using knives and cutting instruments rank third, only after guns and firearms, making knife defense urgent.
There is no single system or instructor able to offer any guarantee against a violent knife attack. However, one thing we can guarantee is that this program will enhance and stack all your chances of fighting off any attacker and your survival. Fighting back and doing something is better than nothing. Thats why this program encompasses simple and effective concepts and strategies that you can apply in your daily life. Training your awareness, using improvised weapons, evading and escaping and developing the mind set and physical skills to defend and when necessary to attack. It’s an authoritative program devised from real-life experience and is a leader in its industry.

One's mental game is profound! The Tactical Edge Defense program advocates teaching how to effectively respond to emotions such as fear within simulated, stress-induced conditions.
